INTRODUCTION

• A query is a tool for extracting, combining, and displaying data from one or more tables, according to criteria you specify

• In a query, you can sort information, summarize data (display totals, averages, counts, and so on), display the results of calculations on data, and choose exactly which fields are shown

• You can view the results of a query in a tabular format, or you can view the query’s data through a form or on a report

Creating Simple Queries

• Use the Simple Query Wizard to create a select query

• A select query displays data from a table or tables, based on the fields that you select, but it does not sort or filter the data

2. In Design view, double-click the Cost Per Hour field

3.Click in the Criteria cell under the Cost Per Hour field and type in <15

4.Run the query

5.Close and Save the query as Bikes Under $15

Sorting Data In A Select Query

• You can control how records appear in Query datasheet view by using the sort feature

• To modify the select query to sort records:

1. Open the Bikes Under $15 query

2. In Design view, click Sort under the Description field

3. Click the drop-down arrow and select Ascending

4. Run the query

5. Close and Save the query as Sorted Bikes Under $15

Advanced Queries

• To enter formulas in calculated fields, follow these steps:1.Create a New query in Design view

2.Click the name of the BIKE, CUSTOMER, and RENTAL tables

3.Click the Add button

4.Click the Close button to continue

5.Double-click the Last Name and First Name fields from the CUSTOMER table, double-click the Date field from the RENTAL table, and double-click the Description field from the BIKE table

Advanced Queries

6. To add a new calculated field, click inside the field

row of a blank column, and type Rental Amount:.

This is the name of an anonymous field

7. Now you will enter the expression to be calculated.

Type in ([Time In]-[Time Out])*24*[Cost Per Hour]

8. Run the query to see the results of the calculated

field

9. Close and Save the query as Rental Amount

Using Aggregate Functions To Calculate Totals In Queries

• Access includes a group of powerful built-in commands known as aggregate (or total) functions

• Using aggregate functions, you can easily calculate totals for groups of records returned by the query specifications

• Aggregate functions can calculate the sum, minimum, maximum, average, count, variance, and standard deviation

Using Aggregate Functions To Calculate Totals In Queries

• To use aggregate functions in queries:

1. Create a New query in Design view

2. Click the name of the BIKE table and click the Add button

3. Click the Close button to continue

4. Double-click the Description and Cost Per Hour fields

5. Click the Totals button (the Sigma icon on the menu bar) to add the total row to the query grid

Creating And Running Queries To Modify Data

• To use action queries:

1. Create a New query in Design view

2. Select the BIKE table and click Add

3. Close the Show Table Dialog box

4. Double-click the Cost Per Hour field to add it to the query grid

5. Convert the query to an action query by choosing the Query

Type button on the tool bar and select Update Query

6. Click inside the Update To: row and type in [Cost Per Hour]
